I didn't get much stitching done this pat IHSW, but on Sunday afternoon I sat down for about an hour to fill in the last couple stitches on the Mermaid, and now the regular cross stitch is all done! There's still a bit of work to go, but this calls for major celebrations. I have since made a little start on the over one stitching of her skin, and that is pretty easy - no blends, less different colours, not a lot of confetti. I feel like I can easily throw in a hundred stitches here and there and make decent progress. But just seeing her like this makes me really happy!

Congratulations on reaching the big goal on Mermaid! I'm sooooo happy for you! I can't wait to see the skin stitched to bring her to life. Are there any other bits to do or will the skin be the last thing? :)
Leonore: She is lovely, I bet you are doing a happy dance.
I am looking forward to seeing her framed.

Wow, it's beautiful! I can only imagine what the finished picture will look like!
Great job on finishing the regular cross stitching, Leonore! Your mermaid will look even prettier when she has her face :)
Oh wow, I hadn't realised you still had the skin to do! That border is stunning.
Oh, she is so close! I can't wait to see her finished!
Beautiful!
